"Buddha would sleep at night for only one hour, wake up and spend the early morning in meditation.
At dawn, he would often walk up and down for exercise, and later talk to people who came to visit him.
Just before noon, he would go to the nearest city, town or village to beg for alms. He used to eat only once a day. Straight after meal he would usually lie down to rest or sometimes to have a short sleep.
In the afternoon, he would talk to people who had come to visit him, give instructions to monks, or go to people in order to talk to them about the Dharma.
Late at night, the Buddha would sit in silence and sometimes Deva would appear and ask him questions.
Buddha would usually wander from place to place for nine months of the year, and settle down for the three months of the rainy season."
